DINWIDDIE - Superintendant Charles Maranzano Jr. officially announced his intention to retire by reading a letter of resignation to School Board members last night.

"I have enjoyed a period of leadership experience in Dinwiddie County thanks to you, the School Board members," Maranzano said. "Know that I leave you with a high performing school division this county can be proud of ... please feel free to call upon me to assist with the transition of authority in the Dinwiddie County school division as you in the board see fit."

No mention was made of a potential replacement for Maranzano or of any current action to find a replacement.

Items on the School Board's agenda that were approved included expenditure reports as well as cafeteria bids for items such as food and milk, which are expected to save the school system about $16,000.

The county schools received three grants, including an equipment assistance grant, a grant from the Governor's Office of Substance Abuse Prevention and a Cameron Foundation grant which is funding a youth development program a continuation of an existing program that is being funded at a higher level.

The grant from the Governor's Office of Substance Abuse Prevention is being used to fund a comprehensive youth needs assessment. This assessment will focus on alcohol, tobacco and drug use, along with violence, health and sexual behaviors and attitudes.

Findings from this assessment will be used to evaluate existing programs and to identify programs designed to address unmet needs.
